As I sit in Sydney Airport, a feeling of of freedom & relief starts to wash over me once again..
I forgot how much I actually got to like Airports in 2006.
Last time i thought about travel or this blog was over two years ago - What a travesty. Although this time I’ll only be traveling for three weeks, I’ll do my best to forget about City life for the time. Welcome back to REAL life, i say to myself.
Plans are to fly to Amsterdam to catch up with some friends, then train it down through Switzerland to France for some late season skiing..
After that., Who Knows…?

A while ago I wrote about the worsening effects of wearing my Havianana Thongs (flip-flops to the rest of the world…) every day, day in - day out.
Now, I’m beginning to gain real concern. In between my big and index toes I now have hardening calices, and the most concerning effect is for most mornings I now wake up with numbness in my index toes..
I don’t know what to do except face the terrible thought of actually stuffing my feet back into those things called shoes for a while until the disease subsides…

I was a little disappointed not to find any red hot Magma here.. I was expecting it to be flowing everywhere… BAH!!
On this brief stop, all i got was a dividing line and a GIANT Obelisk marking The Middle of the World (latitude 0°0′0″) and the Northern and Southern hemispheres..
As a kid might, I got great pleasure out of stepping from one hemisphere to the other and back.. then back again.. . A bit cheesy, but at least I amused myself for a few moments..
Anyway - check it out.

Ahem.., Some places should be avoided..
I’m not talkin’ about Equidor itself. I’m talkin’ about the ‘nice’ little hotel the ‘nice’ person at the information desk at Equidor airport recommended i stay at for a stop over..
Well i can say this. This place was CHEAP.. Cheap in so many ways.. I was, at first, a little concerned as i left to find some food, the other guests seemed a little noisy - or could it have been the rice paper thin walls..? Then to the streets which were overflowing with gang members and homeless zombies everywhere.. After wading through, I found some edible food-stuffs and ventured back, looking forward to a decent nights sleep. I had to wake the guard (receptionist) to let me in. -If only the Rottweiler chained in reception (which was well awake by then) had opposable digits and a key - he could have let me in.. Then finally.. to my room.., and as i was entering, I hear the guest next door leaving, only to be greeted by a scantily clad prostitute, putting on a few finishing touches as she left her last victim..
This is the life..

Things are beginning to become clearer now. Being organised and NOT leaving things up to the last minuet has it’s meritt.
Been FRANTICALLY trying to organise intricate flights with local Brazilian travel agents using my Portuguese 10 word vocabulary, and a series of tiring games of charades… Think i need another bottle of pirate rum (I’ll explain later..)..

Well I’ve had my Haviana thongs on for pretty much the whole time I’ve been in Brazil, and I’m starting to understand the reason for wearing “real” footwear..
I now have calluses between my big and second toes and i think me feet are about to fall off..
